[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8271688, member: 7023840"] [I]Every journey of a thousand miles is started with a single foot fetish ...[/I] Or something like that. Would it be nice if everyone was a game designer, and designed their own games from scratch? Maybe. Other than the issue of who is playing them. "If everyone is a referee, who is playing futbol?" Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuttttttttt (and to quote the good Knight Sir Mix-a-Lot regarding coordinating conjunctions, "I like big buts ...."), there's a difference between telling someone, "Design a game from scratch," as opposed to, "Learn principles of game design over time by modifying a game you are already playing." More importantly, there is a general consensus (it's not 100%, but close enough) in D&D that house-rules, even hundreds of pages, are totally fine and still "D&D." In other words, D&D has always been hella progressive in the sense that the game allows tables to self-identify what they are playing. [/QUOTE]
